To honour my brother.

One Awesome person I met awhile ago now... this guy taught me a few things... and gave me something to put my raw energy into, this guy took a game I liked and made it into one hell of a community.
I made friends, I made enemies... but the best thing is, I found a "Family".

There have been a few individuals we included in our little DGZ RLD family, I wont name any of them, because they have lost the right to have direct recognition, and unlike them I do not aim to defame them, I am just expressing a point of exclusion of them from the community known as DriftGodZ Real Life Drift - server.


These people we played beside for months even called them friends, to a point.
They turned out to be trash, bits of rubbish you can find on any common street corner, more common than the local ladies of the night that walk those corners... now while i would like to direct that last comment at their mothers, I will resist... even though I want to, I wont.


Killa[DGZ] Awesomeness in a black pixel hooded sweater.
Gave all of us at DGZ-RLD his time, he modified and scripted a world where we can play, drive, fly and ride around with friends, we have either made or invited along to play beside us in GTA SA.
I, for one, have made many friends around the world because of his modified creation, and I even consider some of these people my extended family due to the close friendships we have created and have let evolve, even though I have not met any of them face to face... these people are my family on an intellectual level (even though some of them are as slow as rocks rolling up hill :P ).


Some of these people have left the folds of our family... sadly, even some that we thought were close.
These people say they noticed change in our beloved Killa, and maybe they did, or maybe they had an ideal with impossible criteria.
The events surrounding their descent into nameless shapes are many in a multitude of situations...
so rather than bore you with words and rumors, half truth and things of the past, I will cut to the point.


These people, as many as they are, were at one staged esteemed members of the server which we all called home. Some have repaired their mistakes and accepted our faults and flaws, these people are back in the fold, back in the server as esteemed members. And, while some may not hold as much respect as they once did, they are back, they compromised with the Owner and the community, they acted in an honorable way and returned home to us.

While those who were hurt by their own actions lashed out and sought to defame our community and server and especially our beloved Killa[DGZ]. They made sites and webpages and posted their conversations under Anonymity, what kind of person would do that?
Scared people, they knew in their hearts what they were doing was wrong, so they did not post under their names or even their game names.


Maybe he did change over the time the server has been up, maybe they changed in that time, but there is one thing I will always remember...
"True friends do not tell you how much you have changed, they stay with you through your changes, support you through your bad times and laugh with you in your good times. This alone is what a true friend is."

I love Killa as a brother and the respect I have for this guy is immeasurable. He has given me a chance to make international friends and extended "family" from all over the world... in his world. And I will never be able to express enough thanks, just for that.
So, I thank you brother, Killa[DGZ], for all the opportunities you have provided since I was lucky enough to find your Treemendous server.
